Why don’t they call it as it is. She accidentally stepped on the accelerator thinking it was the brake and FROZE!!! It happens so much but that’s what happens when you get old. You don’t think as fast as the young. Iowa has so many elderly, I can see why their dr. Lic. are good for only two years at a time. Bottom line, the car is getting the blame when its the driver. Next it will be a teen driving into something while texting.
In the article it says her age was 22……so your ending statement is probably more accurate
